Research Interests
My research interests are centred on a ‘Catalysis’ theme, and interface computational science, chemistry and biology. My research aims to build next generation bioorthogonal catalysts – by combining nature’s enzymes and synthetic catalysts – to perform advanced biological interrogation in living systems. The long term aims of my research are to develop smarter diagnostic tools for early detection and disease prevention.
